Who Came First is the first major-label solo album by Pete Townshend, guitarist and lead songwriter of The Who. It includes outtakes from the semi-aborted Who concept album Lifehouse as well as homages to his mentor Meher Baba. Several songs on Who Came First as well as nearly all bonus tracks on the 1992 and 2006 re-releases first appeared in Townshend's other tribute albums Happy Birthday, I Am, and With Love. One dollar from each sale of the 1972 album went to charities. The gatefold cover includes two stills of Meher Baba from the Louis van Gasteren film Beyond Words.
